Help please for beginner who cannot play video files

@Budgie

Just received my 4k and need a bit of guidance please.

Device is plugged into TV, powered on and everything is working as it should. DHCP address is correct for my lan and I have updated firmware and am ready to try videos but…

I can get as far as the directories for the videos using UPnP devices route or NFS route but cannot see or play the contents. The videos are all .mp4 and play on my OSMC on Raspberry Pi. What have I forgotten? Are there libraries/codecs that I should have downloaded?

Sorry to be so dumb.

Configuring fstab based NFS share mounts

Why use /etc/fstab instead of Kodi’s built in NFS client? Using /etc/fstab is faster than Kodi’s own NFS client - it delivers better throughput and is more reliable (also than SM…
